Your journey begins aboard a traditional Nubian sailboat,Along the way, you'll be accompanied by a local Nubian guide who was born and raised in the community, sharing personal stories, traditions, and insights that you won't find in guidebooks. Unlike standard sightseeing tours, you'll be encouraged to experience the village as a guest rather than a tourist. Learn a few words and greetings from the Nubian language, discover the meaning behind colorful Nubian houses, and gain a deeper understanding of local customs, family life, and traditions. Upon arrival, you'll visit a private Nubian home where local women will welcome you with traditional tea or coffee. Sit together, exchange stories, ask questions, and enjoy genuine conversations that create meaningful cultural connections. Meet Nubia Through Nubian Eyes.

Super 👍🏻

أول مرة نزور أسوان بلد جميلة وأهلها أجمل حجزنا مع أ. عمر رحلة للقرية النوبية وقارب فلوكة، مواعيده ممتازة وأسلوبه شيق ومفيد في الشرح خصوصًا إنه من النوبة. عشنا تجربة البيت النوبي وأشترينا من السوق تذكارات جميلة. ورحلة قارب الفلوكة كانت تجربة مختلفة ورائعة. رحلة جميلة وممتعة بكل المقاييس أنصح بها وبشدة وبإذن الله نحجز معاه تاني الرحلات القادمة .. ‏Our first time visiting Aswan, a beautiful place with even more beautiful people. Mr. Omer took us to the Nubian village and felucca boat. His timing was excellent. He is very knowledgeable and the tour was very interesting, especially he is from Nuba. We lived the experience of Nubian house and bought beautiful souvenirs from the market. The felucca boat trip was awesome experience. A beautiful and enjoyable trip by all standards. I highly recommend it and for sure, we will book with him another trip next time ..

A Perfect Adventure

I had an amazing time on this trip! Omar, our guide, was just awesome—super knowledgeable and really caring. It made everything so much better because he's Nubian himself and shared loads of cool facts about Aswan and the Nubian culture. The day started with a beautiful boat ride to the Nubian Village, which was such a lovely experience. When we got there, Omar set up a camel ride for me. The camel was well taken care of, and the ride was reasonably priced, with no pushy salespeople—just a great experience all around! Then I got to visit a Nubian house, where they welcomed me with typical Nubian snacks and shared so much about their lifestyle. There were even a few surprises that made it extra special. Omar was amazing and really made my day unforgettable. I highly recommend this trip if you want to explore Nubian culture and see the beauty of Aswan. I'll always have great memories of this day. Thank you, Omar!
